Frequently Asked Questions
Nuthatches like sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, and other high-energy foods. They are especially fond of foods that they can grab and carry away to eat later. Refer to "Choosing The Right Seed" & "Beyond Bird Seed" for guidance.
You can put out sunflower seeds, peanuts, or suet in a feeder near trees. Nuthatches spend a lot of time around tree trunks and branches, so a feeding area near trees can make your yard more appealing to them.
Nuthatches are comfortable climbing along tree trunks and branches in different directions, including headfirst. Therefore, if you see one hanging upside down at your feeder, there's nothing unusual about it because they're just feeding the way they naturally do.
